The Foreign Grain Trade.

LONDON, JAN 10.-The Mark Lane Express,
in its review of the British grain trade during
the past week, says: Trade in English wheat
has beer inactive, but values have been main

sales of English wheat during the week were

INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS.
Trade Opens Brisk, with a Firm Tone to
Prices All Along the Line.

Prices All Along the Line.
indianapolis, Jan. 10, 1887
A cheerful sun, and cold, bracing weather, and
excellent country roads all combine to make bus
mess brisk. and the second week of the year 1887
promises good healthy trade, as stocks on most
lines of goods are we'll thinned out, and there
must be for few weeks to come good deal of
replenishing of broken stocks. and this
class Of sales at this season of the
year are an important feature of
trade. Last years bills have been met with
more than ordinary promptness, and this en-
courages the wholesale men to push sales as far
as practicable, although all wholesale men look
favorably on the disposition Of the country mer-
chants to steer clear of deep water In COM
menting on the condition of trade an exchange
says:
"Wheat, other grain and hog products are be-
ing exported so freely that New York people are
'bulling' the markets with great persistence
There and at Northwestern points large
receipts of grain, in the face of bad weather,
have brought out a strong bear element Hog
products are considered high, and lower prices,
it is argued, would relieve the distrlbut
ing markets of much stuff required
for actual consumption abroad and in the South
and East. Small advances are reported over
week ago in wheat. oil, cotton, hogs, coffee. iron
ditions to the visible supplies and daily receipts
show but little reduction. The rise in cotton is
based on increasing demands at home and
abroad from spinners and revival in the sales
of dry goods at the East. The appreciation in
wool has not been followed by relative i'm
provement in wooden goods, and the foreign
product has, in measure supplanted the home
grown. A recent report says: "Wool sales at
Philadelphia were 10 600, 900 pounds less than in
1885, but New York imports of foreign wool
were 18, 900, 900 pounds larger"
Prices to day all along the line were firm, with
but few changes Poultry is in better demand,
and the same is true of butter if choice. COT
fees, apparently, in the hands of parties who
are able to manipulate prices regardless OF the
legitimate condition.
The local market was rather tame to-day.
Bidding on change lacked spirit and prices, ex-
cept for wheat, were shade easier. The Board
of Trade Price Current says:
'Wheat-An grades are stronger, and prices
shade higher. Supply of milling stock not suf6-
cient for demand Receipts light. Futures
dull. Markets at other points rule steady. Visi-
BILE supply shows increase of one-half million
Of bushels.
'Corn-We note a shade easier feeling for
cash deliveries in local circles and prices for all
grades rule &c to &c lower Receipts liberal. Fut-
ures dull, and May is weaker. Markets both at
seaboard and Chicago are a shade weaker.
"Oats-Prces weaker and Only small quanti-
ties, principally for loose trade.

Some people feed carp as they do chickens. A
writer in the Farm and Firesde says that when
he wishes to the fish or let neighbor Gee
them he gives them sheaf oats. When he wishes
merely to feed them he gives them thrashed oats
or shelled corn. Anything that porker will eat
is food for carp.

steites Found Guilty.
ESPECIAL TO THE sENrrsRL.l


SAN FRANCISCO, March 16.-John E.
Steites, charged with having attempted to
obssruct the cars Of the Suffer Street Rail-
road Company with a dynamite bomb on
February 16 last. was to-day found guilty.
In his charge to the jury, Judge Hunt
at some length defined the legal meaning
OF the term attempt" as used in the in
dictment. He said it was not necessary,
In order to prove attempt" that the de-
PENDANT should be caught placing dyna.
mite on the track, or that he should even
be in the immediate vicinity Of the tracks.
II was sufficient to show that he had q de-
finite intention to place the bomb where
II would do damage. He concluded bis
charge as follows: III you find from the
evidence that the defendant intended to
place dynamite, or some other explo-
sive agency upon the track OF the
Suffer street railroad, for the purpose
OF injuring or destroying it, and that he
made an attempt to carry out such pur-
pose, and that the execution Of such pnr.
pose was defeated only by his arrest. then
the mere circumstance, that at the time OF
his arrest be was not sufficiently near the
track of the Suffer street railroad to have
been able to perform the physical act OF
placing such dynamite, or explosive matter
upon the track, does not justify his &C
qnittal." The jury was out only eight
minutes. The prisoner will be sentenced
on Saturday. He may be sentenced to
Imprisonment for q term not less than SIX
months, nor more Than two and q hal
years.

Trouble with Hotel Runners.

sFOuDhe WIN HObeh MunneTb.
The Salt Tribune says there is much
complaint at the way tho hotel runners
swing things at the depot; according to the
stories told by excursionists yesterday. the
wrangle over passengers is about as inter-
esting as in the palmy days OF New York
when the hackmen were permitted to
pounce on every traveller at will. Com.
plant has been made to the Mayor, but it
appears to have the same effect that com-
plants of the Tooele Methodists did on
the village Marshal. So the hotel runners
pull, haul, yank and blackguard each
others houses 80 voluminously that be-
tween them the passengers have either the
choice of drawing their revolvers to de-
fend themselves or submitting to be
dragged mercilessly in a dozen different
directions and seeing their luggage travel
many different ways. The rivalry be-
tween the rune reached its hight yes
terdsy noon, when two Of them stood
before q rival house, and proclaimed loudly
to the public that this was the champion
bedbug house. As the entire city control
is in the hands of the 'Saints," it remains
to be seen whether the city officials care
enough about the comfort Of tourists to
protect them from the clutches of this
forest Of hotel runners that besiege the
depot approaches like an invading army.

FOxhall.

The Irish Sportsman thus speaks OF the
American racer, the "unlucky" Foxhall:
"Foxhall's double victory in the Cesar

the memory, and yet calamity seems to
have attended all who were mixed mp with
the horse. One of his jockeys broke his
neck, and another committed suicide. The
owner is no longer q millionaire. The
principal winner In the race is heavily in
default. both for stakes and the ring. and

FREIGHT RATES ADVANCED.
New TranscontincntaI rnriR and
Classification.
San Francisco Chronicle.


San Francisco Chronicle.
The Chicago meeting OF Trsnscontinen-
tai traffic agents has not been devoid Of re-
suits after all. News was received by tele-
graph yesterday that the members had
reached q definite understanding with re-
gard to west-bound through rates, and had
adjourned, some of them being now on
their homeward way. The rates adopted
are an enormous increase over those ruling
at present. The joint Western classified
ton in use on all OF the lines west Of Chi
csgo and St. Louis. except the warning
overland roads, has been adopted. The
lowest class will therefore be 81 20 a
hundred pounds, and the highest "a 20 =
hundred. Railroad men here say that this
advance has been made. not because they
expect to compete with the Pacific Mail,
the clippers and the Canadian route, hut
because they feel that their "locals" must
be protected. They say that II local rates
we're gagged down to accord to the through
rates now ruling, revenues would at once
be reduced below the point Of profit, and
In some cases bankruptcy would ensue.
The new rates and classification will take
effect on April /. Between that time aud
the present it ia expected that the shippers
will order the movement OF immense
stocks. The new rate sheet and classifica-
tion will be presented TO the Interstate
Commerce Commission as expressive Of
the views taken by the transcontinentsl
lines with regard to the new law, 30 far as
the protection OF local business 10 con-
cerned. Another tariff and classification,
expressing their views with regard to
the competitive feature Of the traffic
situation, giving much lower rates on
through business. has also been prepared,
and will be presented TO the commission
for its examination, and with the hope of
its approval and the enjoyment Of the
relief which it is intended to afford the
through lines from the long-and short

Will suffer If Abolished.

Salt Lake Tribune: The sleeping car
companies will suffer If free passes and cut
rates are abolished. Hitherto rate wars
have enormously increased their business,
and desdheads by rail have, with few ex-
ceptions, been compelled to pay for their
berths like other people. The decrease In
travel which will follow Immediately on
the enforcement OF the new law will bring
loneliness TO many a sleeping car and sor-
row aud hunger to the porter thereof, who
is now supported largely by tine bounty Of
the free pass holder and the cut'Tase
ticket passenger.
